Silver Mews Care Home

The family could not have wished for more and are so grateful.

Thank you

They not only look after my relative they always make sure to take care of me too whenever I am visiting!

My Aunty needed to go into respite care for a short while and everyone who we came into contact with during her stay was very kind and helpful. My Aunty has a slight touch of dementia but the care team including the guy who seemed to be able to fix anything was so friendly towards her which made her short stay welcome. Her husband could visit after his short stay in hospital and again nothing was too much trouble when he was there he particularly enjoyed his cake

In very difficult circumstances, I cannot believe how well my dad is being cared for by the staff in Silver Mews. He thoroughly enjoyed the recent open day and was joining in with all the activities.

I have been so pleased with the care my grandmother has been receiving at silver mews. Nothing is too much for the staff, she loves getting involved in the activities that are on offer, and is overall so happy here which was always most important. Thank you so much.

As it was my first experience of Stuart being in care. I didn't know what to expect from the levels of care. I had expected that Stuart's regime of walking with his rollater whenever possible would be maintained but obviously this didn't happen as proved by his weakened mobility once home. However, I was impressed with the kindness and care shown to Stuart and the willingness of the staff to listen to helpful information regarding Stuart's needs. I would be more than happy to have him return to Silver Mews for respite care if available.

I feel there are several areas that need urgent attention. Some staff members are kind and try their best, there are far too many delays in responding to residents' needs, which can cause resident and relative distress. The sickness and turnover of staff has caused inconsistent care on many occasions, also activities for bedbound residents are limited, leaving many without meaningful engagement during the day. Communication with families could also be improved, as updates are often unclear or delayed e.g. recent CQC Rating. Regrettably in the last 18 months I understand many complaints have had to be taken out by as relatives and residents trust has been eroded by management team, as they have not always delivered timely meaningful results to many safeguarding and internal issues. On a positive note the outside garden is a pleasant space and the internal decor is very pleasant.

My mam has moved out from Silvermews after 3 years with the last 18 months consisting of constant issues and multiple safeguarding issues regarding missed prescribed medications, poor care and certain staff members poor attitude. The difference at the new care home is incredible and mam is engaging in meals and activities again within 24 hours. Food is very poor at Silvermews and generally cold most of the time and with no real variety. If you just want transactional care, medicating, toileting and feeding then use Silvermews. If you want real love, care and attention to detail look at other Care homes as they is far far better out there. Our family now feel relaxed and content that Mam is now getting the care and attention she needs.

Well, where do I begin following on from my previous review it just gets worse. After raising multiple complaints regarding poor care and inadequate practice and poor behaviour in line with the home's complaints procedures I was served with a 28 day notice for my 86 year old mother who was in their so called care home for nearly 3 years. The notice was served by a quick phone call and a follow up email. No formal meeting was arranged to discuss the situation. The appalling management and upper management should be ashamed of how they supposedly run the home on a shoestring budget. Poor food which is often inedible and cold but is never acted on or improved and this has been apparent for nearly 2 years. Poor attitude of staff with personal opinions and oversharing information about themselves and other residents is utterly appalling. However I am pleased to say my loved one is moving to a much better place with a good rating not a needs improvement in practically all areas.

Since moving into Silver Mews 3 months ago, my aunt and all her family have been made welcome. The staff are like an extended family or friends to her. She has become to think of Silver Mews as her home. We are really happy with what we have seen. Thank you for all the love and care that you show her.

has never been better since she was admitted into Silver Mews Care Home. She has been there almost a year, and my family are thrilled at the wonderful care she is given on a daily basis. The home is such a lovely place to visit, and is always immaculate. The staff are very friendly, attentive, and approachable. My Mam likes to watch tv in her room, but she does have the options of activities with the other residents if she wishes. We made such a good choice in choosing this home for her. Our thanks to the manager and her team, would strongly recommend this home. Thanks again.

Excellent care, spotless clean, staff always go out of their way 'above and beyond' the personal touch was always at the forefront of the staff and duty of care was heart warming. Would definitely recommend.

My mother seems to be very happy in the home. The carers are really thoughtful and caring. The carers and management have dealt quickly and considerately with any concerns we have had. Regular activities take place, which are enjoyable for both residents family. The home is clean and well looked after. I can't fault anything.

I think staff could do with training on palliative care this goes for any care home. Care from some staff is excellent I couldn't say a bad word. However some staff need extra training immensely lack of empathy and compassion. Phones should be away not on any person! And a routine needs to be in place with /residents checks , care , hygiene! Also uniform should be compulsory.

Very impressed. All staff are wonderful, helpful and kind. I have noticed changes taking place since January. Improving all the time.

Excellent staff care, friendly, helpful above and beyond. Lovely management. Could not fault staff. Downside not all staff wear a uniform which can be confusing not knowing that they are staff or they could be visitors. Also its not very hygienic.

The home provides good care for my mother. She enjoys living here and it is a great help to the family knowing she is content and cared for. The home provides a warm, friendly and clean environment. Would recommend.

I visited a good friend, and I found the home to be first-class. The food was lovely and of a very high standard and looked lovely. She is very happy to go back into the home when her family next go on holiday.

I cannot believe how lovely the care home is, and it is a pleasure to visit.
